What is considered a "conflicting domain"?
In Canada, there are provincial second level domains for each .ca domain. If registrants own "domain.ca" or "domain.pv.ca" (where .pv is the provincial code), the CIRA system automatically "reserves" all variants of the name. For example, if I have joey.on.ca and no other joey.pv.ca (or joey.ca) names exist, I have the "first" right to register any other joey.pv.ca names. For example: joey.ab.ca (for Alberta) or joey.bc.ca (for British Columbia) etc. If the domain being registered has a second, third or fourth level match of an already registered .ca domain, it is considered a conflicting domain. For example, when a new registration falls into the "conflicting domains" category, these orders are not automatically processed; instead they are placed in the "View blocked .ca orders" section on the Resellers Web Interface (RWI) with an order status of "pending".
